Research Report: Green Spaces in
McKinney
Introduction
I made this survey to find out how people in McKinney feel about green spaces like parks,
trails, and natural areas. These places are important because they give people a spot to
relax, exercise, or hang out with family and friends. I wanted to see how often people use
them, how important they are, and what changes people want to see.
Method
I created a short values survey with questions about green spaces. The survey asked things
like: how often people visit, what types they go to, and what stops them from going more. It
also asked about safety, maintenance, and what new features they want. After collecting
the answers, I turned them into graphs so I could see the patterns more clearly.
Results
1. Visiting green spaces
Most people said they visit green spaces occasionally. This shows how much people
actually use the parks and trails in McKinney.
, 2. Importance of green spaces
When asked how important green spaces are, most answered moderately important.
3. Types of green spaces
The most common places people go were recreational sports fields. Some places, like
community gardens, were used less.
4. What stops people from going
The biggest reasons people didn’t visit more were lack of time and not enough info. This
means things like time, safety, and knowing where the parks are really matter.
